Using a UIViewRepresentable like this works, but the Liquid Glass animations for the slider look very wonky and choppy. On slider release there isn't even an animation at all.
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var sliderValue: Double = 0.48
var body: some View {
VStack {
VStack {
SafeSlider(value: $sliderValue, range: 0...1.18, step: 0.01)
Text("Value: \(sliderValue, specifier: "%.2f")")
}
.frame(maxWidth: 128)
}
.padding()
}
}
struct SafeSlider<Value: BinaryFloatingPoint>: View where Value.Stride: BinaryFloatingPoint {
@Binding var value: Value
var range: ClosedRange<Value> = 0...1
var step: Value = 0
var onEditingChanged: (Bool) -> Void = { _ in }
var body: some View {
#if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst)
if #available(macOS 26.0, *) {
SliderWrapper(value: $value, range: range, step: step, onEditingChanged: onEditingChanged)
} else {
defaultSlider
}
#else
defaultSlider
#endif
}
private var defaultSlider: some View {

}
}
